Yep. Firebird understands the remote commands. A script very similar
like the ones I posted more than once will do it:

--- firebird-remote.sh ---

#!/bin/sh
firebird -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || firebird $1 &

--- end ---

Make sure, you have the 'firebird' executable in your path (or adjust
the script). Also, make sure you have the 'firebird-remote.sh' script in
your path and set executable rights.

Adjust the GConf settings, to call the script:

$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'firebird-remote.sh %s'
